writes: Hi everyone, I'm a 16 year old girl who has a way overprotective mom, and i don't know what to do anymore. Since I was a kid she was very overprotective, she didn't even let me play with my little cousins outside because she feared they hit me or that I fall. When I grew up it was the same, she didn't let me go out with anyone thats not her. I've lost alot of friends that way. Now I have a bf of 1.5 year, she has always chaperoned up and my bf didn't mind. But she promised me that when I turn 17 she would let me go out alone with him. Now she's saying that it's till I turn 18. And that hurts, cause it is a bit weird that she follows me everywhere, and my bf friends always like to stare. It makes me feel like I don't belong and very insecure. I just want her to give me a bit more space, I've tried talking to her but she doesn't reason to anything I say. Pls help me, I don't kno what to do...

reader, anonymous, writes (26 December 2006): your mother could be very afraid that you may leave her and move on. she could be afraid that if she loses you she won't have anyone else in her life and she'll be alone, especially if she doesn't have a bf or husband at the moment. encourage your mother to join a club or group where she can meet other mothers, encourage her to talk to one of your freind's moms, who could help her. reassure your mother you're old enough and that you'll ALWAYS love her no matter what. sometimes, people just need a reality zap. have someone who shares your view,that your mother knows and respects tell her.
